    Strange Pinging sound on my Low B

    I have an old 90s Ken Smith Burner, love it to death. Only thing with it (and keep in mind it is barely noticeable) is this strange pinging sound when I play on only the low b. And just today, I discovered if I pluck at the edge of the pickup close to the bridge, this sound is recreated and...

    How do I fix the mid scoop on a PJ?

    How do I fix the mid scoop on a PJ? When I’m at home practicing and messing around with my tone, I like the clarity and the way drive/grind sounds when P and J are both on full. When I get to rehearsal or to a gig I just disappear in my band that has 2 distorted guitars. I end up just...

    Crate BT100 combo amp, humming noise

    Hi All, I’m posting this hoping to get some advice on repair and if it’s even repairable. Reddit post () Any ideas of what’s causing this? It happens regardless of the bass being plugged in, and if I smack the top of the amp it works fine.

    Hello, I got a Leo Jaymz RB Rickenbacker-style bass kit for Christmas, and I have been having troubles with the electronics. I'm getting continuity everywhere I should, but as soon as I plug the cord into the jack (the cord and amp are both good), everything goes silent. I've checked the knobs...
